e·quip |
[e•kwip] | (v.)
a. To supply with necessities such as tools or provisions. b. To furnish with the qualities necessary for performance.
(The American Heritage Dictionary, 2006)
“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” Ephesians 4:11–13 (NIV). Mark your calendars to join us for the finale of the Equipping Ministry Workshops presented by Vernon and Charlene Armitage! 2BC leaders in all areas of ministry are encouraged to participate as we celebrate our launch into the next phase of the Equipping Ministry. This workshop will prepare leaders to: • Apply the foundational systems of an equipping culture (inviting, training, affirmation, feedback, evaluation, recognition, and reflection) • Recognize the strengths needed by leaders to multiply their impact by encouraging others to reach their God-given potential • Identify the six reasons high capacity volunteers will stay in ministry • Begin the next steps of the equipping process at 2BC. For more information, please contact: Kim Halfhill 2BC Volunteer Director of Equipping khalfhill@2bcliberty.org
We look forward seeing you on March 8-9!

LEADING TO EASTER: Searching the Soul 7-Week Lenten Series | Social Room – East Leader: Jeff Langford | February 22–April 5
The events leading up to Jesus' death and resurrection were vitally important in the scope of human history, but they were also profoundly impacting for the human beings who experienced them. People like the disciples, Pontius Pilate, Mary, the soldiers guarding the tomb, and many more. Those events can still impact us today—if we let them. So join us for a time of searching the soul this Easter season.

From our beginning, this wonderful Fellowship has been forming together! We took a couple of tries to form our name; this happened in community. We’ve taken several steps toward being on mission together. We’ve been a “new way of being Baptist” together. We’ve been formed by those around us being the presence of Christ to us. We are the Cooperative . . .
CBF Coordinator of Organizational Relationships, Bo Prosser, shares how forming together has been the history of CBF, and how it is our future.
